Telephoning roleplays dice game

Roll the dice twice, the first time to choose which section below and the second to decide which of the 6 things in that section you must roleplay. Your partner will then rank your performance: 1 = OK, 2 = fairly good, 3 = very good, 4 = (almost) perfect. Roll the dice that many times (= three times if your performance was very good). The highest number from those throws is your score for that round, e.g. four points if you rolled 1, 3 and 4.
